I have never seen a dozen shades of green!

Although we didn't get a change to get hold of the KNK Passport provided by our friendly neighbourhood officers at the Tourism Department, we felt that the feeling of satisfaction is more than enough to leave a stamp in our heart. It is my second trip to Temburong. First one was strictly work related with some emceeing job I had to do and this second one is a strictly have-fun-go-wild-run-around-naked one. We took the monster truck to Limbang, crossed the ferry to Temburong. I know a lot of people are hoping for a bridge to be built so that it would be easily accessible, saves time as well and that's clearly understandable but its people like me that don't get to ride on ferries and is loving every second of the 2 minute ferry ride. Hey, if they put two ferries together, they don't actually need to build a bridge. I think two ferries connected is about the width of that river. We drove to the Trandie Marina Resort and took a longboat to the National Park, registered and paid $5 (comes with a park ranger). Then we disembarked into the best preserved tropical rainforest of Borneo. We climbed the very high scaffolding of the Canopy Walkway, the structure rises over 50 meters high on top of 850 meters high hill. That's from the ridge top to above the tree tops. Once you get to the top, all you can see is the amazing and panoramic view of the tropical rainforest, the clouds, the sounds of birds (you'll spot a few hornbills) and insects. The primary rainforest carpets about 78 percent of Brunei’s land area, most of which you can see from the Canopy Walk (Don't trust me, I tend to exaggerate).

Here is a video I made...Its really crappy. My first time using the video function in my camera. I didn't even know what to say! Please ignore my I love NY t-shirt. My sis bought it for me when she was living there.

Notes:
1. Please bring the OFF or any form of insect repellent.

2. Do not wear perfumes, bees will love you and you don't what that do you now?

3. 50 meters on a 850 meters hill, not recommended for people who are afraid of heights.

4.Once at the top, don't look down the forest floor, you'll feel dizzy. If its OK for you or you like the dizzying perspective then, look down...its amazing to know how high you've climb.

5. If you've not done any form of exercise, you'll NOT make it! Turn around and dip your feet in the river and wait for your buddies to get back and tell you all about their non-stop stories.

6. Oh yes, wear proper shoes, the track gets a little muddy.

7. If you missed out on it, don't meet your friends for 1 week because that's all they're going to talk about.

8. Have FUN!!!

The treehouse at Trandie Marina Resort. There are a few treehouses there and other abseiling activities.
The boat ride to the National Park, it was a whole lot of fun with the rapids. Recommended for rafting.

Spirit Snuffed Out

On Sunday, Theycallmeck blogger CK was spotted with a mystery man in a football match and left just before the half time.

The blogstress have said to have a major illness!

She took to her blog to announce her news:

Well, as many of you know I have been having trouble with my health lately but it didn’t stop me from going to a football match. The doctors thought I had tonsillitis, but when I wasn't feeling better after some rest, I decided to get an intensive checkup. When I heard the results I was in utter disbelief. The doctors told me that not only I had tonsillitis, but both of my cheeks were exhausted!! He said my left one was particularly bad, all this because I was smiling way too much for the cameras!!! He said I had just over done it with the excessive smiles over the past few weeks and so my muscles became fatigued and transferred the overload of stress to the bones around my cheek area - causing them to be stress! He says that type of injury can happen when celebrities step up the amount or intensity their smiles. Typical me- I throw myself 1000% into anything I do- that's how I went from being homeless to where I am today- but I just had no idea I could over-do smiling!
Shock does not begin to describe it. I am heartbroken to say I will not be smiling in this season of Football fever. I'm sad I won't get to go through the rest of the experience smiling with my mystery man. I don't really know what to say. I am sad and mad and disappointed and just blown away at all that has happened. I also feel particularly upset for my partner. This wasn't the way I wanted to go, but my health must come first. The good news is that my doctors say with rest and care, I will recover completely with no long-term damage. I hope I will be able to come back and with a new set of smile after my injury heals.


Such a bummer.
Get well lady!

P/s: I seriously think I’m coming down on something. My throat feels very hot, row and scratchy. I’ve got the snizz’cold too. I think I had too much salt yesterday.

My weekly dozes of On Ons

The Pain. The Drive. The Satisfaction. Yeap, it's my fourth skip along in the scenic rural sides and still trying to grasp the idea of picking out thorns in my finger with a needle every week. I am a clumsy one really and that’s the one impressive quality the blokes seem to find classy these days. There is this one gentleman I find quite sexet. I know you will never slip into this site of mine, but if only you can slip into my arms. Jeg synes du air flot. Jeg vil gerna kysse dig. I tend to talk Danish when I’m feeling all…you know. Back to my skip along in the woods, the best thing about it really is having a Britney right after and...hmmm...talking about the pearl necklace!? Hmmf…its best I didn’t know what it meant.

Dear readers, I’ve noticed my hits seems to be escalating like a mad woman chasing after a rat in the kitchen and if I somewhat do not make sense in this post, my apologies. Sometimes fantasy takes control and there's only little you can do about it.

Know-it-alls

Conversation from know-it-alls must eventually draw to a close rather than offering my opinions, leading to him/her being defensive and causing him/her to dig in his/her heels. Most times, I like to be left alone and spare myself from all these dramas. Boy, do I not fit in, so I've been practicing these lines over and over again for conversation enders. I'm pretty sure the know-it-alls will like the sound of my lines as they need not prove their brilliance to me once heard.

1) "Obviously you know your stuff,"
2) "You always have something intelligent to say,"

Whatcha reckon?
